The builds, summed
| Build | Chicken Quesadilla | Chicken Burrito |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 875 cal, 59 g protein, 2,180 mg sodium, $10.35 | 550 cal, 41 g protein, 1,610 mg sodium, $9.80 |

The classic builds are the same parts but for the Monterey Jack Cheese (in a quesadilla, 3 oz) and Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa on the Chicken Quesadilla and the Cilantro-Lime White Rice, Black Beans, Monterey Jack Cheese and Romaine Lettuce on the Chicken Burrito: Chicken Quesadilla at 1,045 calories against Chicken Burrito at 1,090 calories, 45 calories apart. At the medians the classic builds cost $10.35 and $9.80, $0.55 apart.
The digital order and its sides
The quesadilla is the one adult format priced above the rest ($10.35 against $9.80 for chicken at the medians) and the one ordered only through the app or website: “The Quesadilla is a digital-only menu item at Chipotle, meaning you can order it exclusively through the Chipotle app or website for pickup or delivery.” It comes with three sides, so the classic build here counts a salsa, sour cream and corn salsa beside the tortilla and 3 oz of cheese; the burrito’s tortilla, rice and beans are the parts it does not carry.
Price
The medians on 25 September 2026: Chicken Quesadilla at $10.35 ($9.00 to $12.65, 367 restaurants) and Chicken Burrito at $9.80 ($8.45 to $12.10, 368 restaurants). The gap at the median is $0.55, and the ranges overlap: a restaurant at the top of the Chicken Burrito range charges more for it than a restaurant at the bottom of the Chicken Quesadilla range charges for that. For delivery on the brand’s own app: $13.45 for Chicken Quesadilla and $12.75 for Chicken Burrito, before fees.

The records the ordering menu lists are the proteins alone (180 calories for the Chicken Quesadilla and 180 calories for the Chicken Burrito), so the formats compare as builds above; the yardsticks below are the classic builds.

Allergens and diets on the chart
The chart marks neither as containing any of its four allergens (dairy, soy, wheat and gluten, sulphites). The diet marks: Chicken Quesadilla keto and paleo and Chicken Burrito keto and paleo. Those are the proteins’ own rows; the classic builds add the tortilla (wheat and gluten), the cheese and the sour cream (dairy) and the salsa (sulphites) where they carry them, and each entree page prints the build’s marks under the bars. The chart’s caution applies to both: “Individual foods may come into contact with one another during preparation, which is not reflected on this chart.”

An entree’s record is its protein alone, which is why the formats compare as builds.
